Canadian flag carrier Air Canada (AC) today (September 9, 2024) announced it is finalizing plans to suspend the majority of its operations amid a potential strike by its pilots.
Air Canada (AC) has offered a 30% pay hike to its pilots to prevent strike action, according to Bloomberg News.
Air Canada (AC) pilots may strike as early as September 17, escalating tensions in ongoing contract negotiations.
A decade ago, pilot salaries at Air Canada (AC) and United Airlines (UA) were nearly identical; however, today, the American counterparts earn double.
